There is only one constant, one universal, it is the only real truth: causality. Action. Reaction. Cause and effect...There is no escape from it, we are forever slaves to it. Our only hope, our only peace is to understand it, to understand the 'why'. 'Why' is what separates us from them, you from me. 'Why' is the only real social power, without it you are powerless.

If you have a software based motherboard then there is a good chance you could look in your bios and see what the current settings are. If your bios won't tell you the speed it is running at just the system clock speed and the multiplier, simply multiply the system clock by the multiplier and voila, that should be your current cpu speed. If you have a hardware based board then the easiest way to tell is with a program such as the ones listed above, or if you wanted you could read the documentation on your board and find out what jumpers do what, then use that to find out what your current clock and multiplier is set to. Just remember not to play with any of those unless you know what you're doing, if you overclock your computer on accident or on purpose without considering heat or stability then the consequences can be fairly bad, such as a cpu fused into the socket, which will cost you a new cpu and board...
